a while back there was a skirmisher who had some longer than normal 54 cal cap plugs made up. I think the dia was a little larger as well. in any case they were perfect for a 534400 style bullet. I was wondering if they are still available or if someone could tell me where to obtain them. thanks hp

The Caplug stock number that you want is 1/2 SC X 1 1/2. That's what I use for my .54 Jaeger. It holds the bullet, 45-50 grains of FFFg powder, and is long enough to work well in the cartridge box. Order them directly from Caplug. Its a whole lot less expensive than from a sutler.

Does cap plug still have minimum orders? The last time I ordered musket tubes from them, I had to by 10K. But I found enough guys on my team that needed them.

You can also order samples from them to see it they will fit your use. They are free.

Minimum order? Good question. I ordered mine awhile back, and believe that I had to get 500.

I can get buy with what I have for now. just thought it would be a good time to buy some more. they work mighty good. easy to get the bullet out and they don't split. I don't think you can wear them out. thanks
